Pycnodysostosis (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia from impaired bone resorption due to osteoclastic dysfunction. The features of PD are deformity of the skull, maxilla, and phalanges; osteosclerosis; and bone fragility. We describe the case of a patient with complaints of multiple fractures of the lower extremities in the anamnesis and pain in the lower extremities, cervical spine, and shoulder girdle during physical exertion.

In this Letter we try to search for signals generated by ultraheavy dark matter at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) data. We look for possible γ rays by dark matter annihilation or decay from 16 dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the field of view of the LHAASO. Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the most promising targets for indirect detection of dark matter that have low fluxes of astrophysical γ-ray background while having large amount of dark matter.
